BRANDON HAMPTON
President brandon@gamedayrealestate.com
Brandon Hampton is the Founder and Head Coach at Game Day Real Estate, a value-add, mission-focused real estate investment company that exists to use grace, excellence, and discipline to deliver positive outcomes for its investors and residents. Fueled by his visionary leadership style and the belief that all people have dignity, Brandon believes that in underserved, urban communities, home ownership should be the most basic norm.
Brandon’s real estate journey began in Los Angeles, CA, in 2010, where the heart of Game Day was born. After evolving through several names and forms, Game Day ultimately led Mr. Hampton and his family to a new home in Phoenix, AZ, in 2013. In 2014, Mr. Hampton joined Clear Sky Capital, where he supported several business platforms within the organization.
Most recently, he served as Director of Manufactured Housing, leading the firm’s manufactured housing platform. In this capacity, he was responsible for sourcing, underwriting, operations, financial management, and achieving the business’s growth objectives.
Previously, he had oversight of Clear Sky Capital’s specialized multifamily portfolio, consisting of 15+ mid-century properties from the 1950s–1960s, with a total capitalization of approximately $30 million. Mr. Hampton was instrumental in the acquisition, underwriting, execution of extensive capital improvement programs, and disposition of these assets.

- Rebranding and repositioning
- Interior and exterior capital improvements
- Professionalized property management
